OVER HALF Contlnuea from pa*a one action of wind and spray driven against the soft shale. It resulted in the gradual carving of the hollows in the rock beneath the harder top layer. Ultimately, the top layer collapses, and the falls recede. « 187 Feet High The height of the American fall Is 167 feet, with a contour line of 1,075 feet. The average depth of the water is 184 feet above the fall By far the greatest and most colorful part of the falls is the Horseshoe fall on the Canadian side, which will be visited. This fall is 160 feet high, shaped like a horseshoe. and has a contour line of 2.100 feet. About 94% of the water passes over the Canadian side. Below the falls the depth of the river ranges from 72 to 84 feet, due to the presence of falling rocks. The depth of the whirlpool before reaching the middle of the river -IS" 126 feet—below- the whirlpool the depth is considerably less. A two-hour tour of the colored illumination of the falls Saturday night, followed by another tour of the Canadian side Sunday afternoon. are the main highlights of the trip. Plenty of free time is allowed for the tourists to visit the many other attractions. A total of 4 billion, 200 million candlepower lamps light the falls in a splendid array of color at night. Over 2,600 vaily Democrats are sold and delivered in Decatur each day.

Nelson told Branscomb that his "flat refusal” to readmit Lawson was “a descrepancy of gross proportion.” Branscomb announced earlier in the day that Lawson would not be readmitted because “it would initiate a conflict as long as he is on campus."

The lower commission paid agents for Farm Bureau Insurance reduces your cost —his volume is greater so he earns more than the so-called “independent agent.” The “independent agent” most frequently chooses the insurance company paying the highest commission—and as a result, charges more premium or gives you less COV- 4 erage to arrive at an acceptable premium, i LOWEST HIT COST: This net cost in every instance' checked proved that Farm Bureau Insurance offered the lowest cost insurance—regardless of advertised claim# for low cost insurance. This low cost was provided on the deluxe coverage—a family policy with maximum benefits. What would you do if you suddenly realized that you were paying s3o—s39—or maybe even SSO more for your auto insurance—than you needed to pay? What would you do—if you knew this to be a positive fact? Here’s a suggestion that will pay off—pick up your phone book and look under "Insurance" in the Yellow Pages. Th<e you’ll find the phone number of your agent for Farm Bureau Insurance. ' Call him and tell him you want a cost and coverage comparison—it will be a pleasant surprise to know how much you can save—and bow much more coverage you get. - Why does Farm Bureau Insurance offer so much more coverage—for so little money? That’s a good question. The essential difference is the high profit concept of many insurance carriers combined with the high profit requirements of “independent agents.” Farm Bureau Insurance was organized by farmers to combat high cost—limited coverage insurance. For many years, only farmers could buy Farm Bureau Insurance—but now the benefits of Farm Bureau Insurance are offered to you and other careful drivers. " Get a cost and coverage comparison on your auto—and you’ll see why more than 6 out of every 10 Indiana farmers insist on and buy Farm Bureau Insurance.
